  What is a community of interest? The California Constitution defines a community of interest as: A community of interest is a contiguous population which shares common social and economic interests that should be included within a single district for purposes of its effective and fair representation. Examples of such shared interests are those common to an urban area, a rural area, an industrial area, or an agricultural area, and those common to areas in which the people share similar living standards, use the same transportation facilities, have similar work opportunities, or have access to the same media of communication relevant to the election process. Communities of interest shall not include relationships with political parties, incumbents, or political candidates.

• CO16
  The City of Loyalton population was too large in 2010 for one supervisorial district, so a portion of the City was shared with another supervisorial district.
• CO17
  Sierraville, Calpine, and Sattley have common social, economic, and geographic similarities and familiarity and these communities should remain in a single supervisor district.
• CO18
  The Sierra Valley ranches and agricultural properties should not be divided and should be retained within one supervisor district.
• CO19
  Sierra Brooks should not be a divided community and should for social and geographic similarities be situated in one supervisor district.
• CO20
  Verdi and Long Valley have common ground by their respective inclusion within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (ridge line running north and south) and with their predominant influences toward metropolitan Washoe County (Reno-Sparks). However, the agricultural similarities between Long Valley and Sierra Valley are also predominant. COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST IN SIERRA COUNTY – WHAT WE LOOKED AT IN 2010
